Single A Theme

THE STICKY POST

1.    How do you implement the sticky post?
In the appearance options first define the sticky tag (e.g., “sticky” or “original posts”) and then use that tag on the post that you’d like to be displayed at the top of your blog. Only your most recent blog post with the sticky tag will always appear at the top.

2.    How do you implement the featured tag?
In the appearance options define the tag name in the “featured tag” text box (e.g., “photos” or “coli music” or “funny videos”). Next define the label for the “featured heading”—this will be the heading that appears above your posts (e.g., “My Pics” or “Fave Tunes” or “Funny Videos”). Use your tag on at least one post to see it appear on the right sidebar.

3.    Will the sticky post show up twice—once at the top of the page and once in its original position?
Nope, but once you remove it as a sticky post, it will show back up in its original position.

4.    I’ve followed your instructions for implementing the sticky post and featured tag, but neither are showing up on my blog. What’s the problem?
Sometimes the sticky post and featured tag won’t display because the Tumblr API is temporarily unavailable. Be patient. It will come back online soon. 

5.    I have a group blog. Why can’t I see the author of a post in the sticky post?
This was a fix in version 1.1. If you’ve made any custom changes to the HTML or CSS, make sure you manually update Single A by reinstalling the theme from the theme garden.

6.    Why don’t album images appear in the sticky post?
At this time the Tumblr API does not provide this information. This was a fix in version 1.1. If you’ve made any custom changes to the HTML or CSS, make sure you manually update Single A by reinstalling the theme from the theme garden.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

1.    How do I make the post titles bold or italic?
Login to Tumblr, click on your blog, and then click the Customize blog link. Within the customize pane, scroll down to Advanced and expand it. Enter the following: #tumblr-posts .title { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; overflow: hidden; }

2.    How do I change the font type?
Login to Tumblr, click on your blog, and then click the Customize blog link. Within the customize pane, scroll down to Advanced and expand it. Within the “Add custom CSS” field, enter the following for the main font: body {font-family: Arial;} and the following for the secondary font: .fS {font-family: Arial;} Arial is only being used as an example. Feel free to change it to whatever font you would like.

3.    How do I change the background color?
Login to Tumblr, click on your blog, and then click the Customize blog link. Within the customize pane, scroll down to Advanced and expand it. Enter the following: html, body { background-color: #fff !important; } #page-content { background-color: #fff; } The fist rule set should set the desired color of the bg surrounding the content. The second rule set ensures the content area is white. Before, the content area assumed the site’s bg color.

4.    How do I change the font size of the blog title?

#tumblr-bio .heading { font-size: 21px;} and change the font-size to whatever you would like.

OTHER QUESTIONS

1.    What happened to the star icon that used to appear on the upper right corner when you hovered over it?
We disabled this feature in Version 1.1 of Single A. Now, by checking “Show Sharing Features” in the appearance options, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr buttons will be displayed at the bottom of your posts. (The Tumblr button will only be displayed at the bottom of permalink posts.)

2.    What do you call the font that you used for the headers?

Yanone Kaffeesatz. You can download it here: http://www.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Yanone+Kaffeesatz&subset=latin

3.    “Posts I Like” and who I’m following don’t show up in my sidebar. How do I fix this?

Make sure you’ve checked the boxes “Show Likes” and “Show Blogs I Follow” in the appearance options.

4.    Why aren’t social media icons displaying in my sidebar? I entered the URLs in the appearance options. 

Make sure you’ve entered the full URL which includes the http://.
